The flow meter has one or more acoustic trans - mitter and receiver pairs, holder, a an interface unit, and comput- a er module. The acoustic transmitter and receiver pair measures a flow speed value of fluid in a the fluid conduit. The holder fixes the acoustic transmitter and receiver pair to the fluid conduit. The interface unit receives a type data, position data, and an a orientation data of a fluid disturbance element, and a position data and an orientation data of the acoustic transmitter and receiver pair. The computer module has a memory unit, processor, an a output device. The memory unit stores relationship data a set. The processor computes a flow rate of the fluid by using the relationship data set type. The output device outputs the flow rate.
